Happy Fall Yall/ Thursday randoms

[ashbash]

Going to be 93 here today so not feeling like Fall yet!

DD is playing in her play kitchen and told me she is making "fish cheese lemonade"

DS has his 15 m appt today

Im going to a wine festival on Saturday for my big 3-0 and plans all last minute came together last night and Im so pumped!

The newscasters couldn't stop talking about how today is the first day of fall, but it's going to be in the upper 80's today (normal would be low 70's around here). It was driving me nuts. Also, I'd like summer to get out of the way, it's fall's turn now.

No big exciting things here, just wrapping up the work week and gearing up for the weekend, hopefully we'll get most of the remaining boxes unpacked and some other projects done

Off work today, but I still have to go in to check for an email from the manager in MKE, and for a conference call. I have my interview tomorrow morning, and they said they are paying me for my drive time and the time I am interviewing, which is kind of unheard of.

Hi!

Don't worry guys, it's not 80 everywhere, it's definitely fall haha 😜

I'm having a friend over with 3 of her kids this morning, then taking my kids to the town next door where my mom works to meet her for lunch for her birthday with my aunts.

For random, it's my dad's 60th birthday next month, so I tried to get him something a little more special and came across this idea




That's mine and my siblings birth years. He loves to decorate his shop and build little trinkety things out there in the winter when he's a little less busy with the farm, and I love how even though the quote is only two words it has so much meaning with the hammer and the birthdays on it!

tiffbot great idea! I may have to steal it for FIL from the kids! Lol

I can send you the etsy seller if you do want to! He was out of Ontario.

PSA: if you use cartwheel, target has 40% off costumes and Halloween candy, today only. It looks like you have to add each candy offer separately though.

We accidentally sent MM to MDO with pink eye yesterday. Sorry, other parents...

[heartofglass]

I forgot how to mom a sick LO. A hasn't been sick since February when I took him out of daycare. He started getting a runny nose yesterday and it was bad by the evening. Woke up MOTN with a fever of 101.5. I panicked for a minute. I'm still worried that he didn't get the flu shot at his 15 month appointment and I haven't remembered to call them about it.

[sugarkissed]

That is so cute tiffbot! And yes, +1 on officially fall here.

We are going to Toronto next week and I am hoping for nice warm summer-ish weather.

Morning Ladies! Things have been really busy over here at work and at home this week, I'm looking forward to my 9/80 day off tomorrow!

Gianna suddenly seems to be exploding with words, which is exciting, but it has me feeling super sentimental that she's really not a baby anymore. I can't believe she's a full on little girl.

Anyways this weekend is going to be spent organizing, unpacking, and cleaning the house. Tomorrow my H is taking the day off of work so that we can get ready to have a garage sale on Saturday. Fingers crossed that we can sell some stuff because our house is sooo packed from combining 2 households, even after giving a bunch of stuff to my siblings! I mean we have 7 TVs. 7!

[belle0720]

Happy Birthday ashbash!! Have fun at the wine festival!

[alayne926]

Yea...it's supossed to be 90F here today. For sure not Fall weather.

DS's behavior has been AWFUL since we've been home from our vacation. I feel bad, but I told him if he doesn't have a good day at school, we can't stay at his school for their Open House tonight. He only responds to losing/gaining privleges, and this is something he REALLY wants to do.

He's been having horrible fits and not listening both at home and school.

that would be great, thank you! He's always fixing things up with the kids so this would be a perfect gift for him.

MemoriesMadeCustom is the shop I used, I found quite a few in my search but in my opinion liked his options the best!

We don't have a Fall season here. We have a Fire season. And it's in full swing.

DH and I got caught up a bit on the DVR last night and watched This is Us. Anyone else?? So good!

[ashbash]

tiffbot LOVE the hammer and stealing for Dad for xmas

I really liked that show!

High of 60+ today. I do not like being home alone with a toddler. I miss my big kids. Also, tapatalk is screwing me over and I can't get in.

[dogmama22]

I'm in the parking lot to get my blood drawn, but Z just fell asleep so we're just going to hang here for a bit.
Anyone else have a kiddo with sensitive skin? My grandma bought a box of Huggies to use at her house and he had a diaper rash when I took one off. I put him in a Kroger Simple Truth diaper and it went away. Came back again in another Huggies, so I'm returning them. Is Pampers better for sensitive skin? Her coupon was for a box, so I can't get Kroger.

H and DS left this morning to fly to St. Louis for his great grandmas 94th bday party. Its so strange having a quiet house.

I'm in similar boat but just until Monday. It's weird just having a toddler in the house...

Me too! We looked at prices and it would have cost too much and we are taking a family vacation already to Vancouver next month.

Did you end up taking your trip to Europe?

Do you go to that shrewsbury festival/carnival? H is taking DS there this weekend

alayne926 Do you go to that shrewsbury festival/carnival? H is taking DS there this weekend

[alayne926]

@poppyc8, no. I have in the past because my BFF from high school lived in Shrewsbury, but I'm about 30 min from there now.

[alayne926]

budders, DS could only do Pampers and Target brand. He broke out with Huggies too.

[heartofglass]

Thankfully A's fever hasn't returned (probably jinxing us now), but he's pitifully congested and snotty. He's nursed double time and is on his 3rd nap of the day.

[heartofglass]

I should try a box of Huggies diapers. The pediatrician uses them and he loves that they have Mickey Mouse on the front.

Hey ya'll I've been swamped with work this week and projects around the house. Tomorrow is C's 15 month appt. It's hot as balls here, no fall in sight. I went to the tattoo shop today to get new jewelry for 2 of my piercings that I've been meaning to do for a year and ended up talking to an artist about cover up ideas for an old tattoo!
